I first started capturing her storytelling using the video mode on our digital camera, around about April, but she soon refused to let me film her. So I tried writing her stories while she told them, using pen and paper. That lasted for only a few stories too, before she caught on. Since then, I've been recording her using a mini MP3 recorder, which is pretty unobtrusive, and transcribing the audio later. She then objected strongly to this as well... Nowadays I use a combo of MP3 and video to record her before transcribing. I only manage to record a fraction of the stories she tells. I always have a backlog of stories on the recorder that still need transcribing, as it's impossible for me to keep up with her. To help new readers, I've marked my favourite stories with a star (*), so at least you have somewhere to start if you don't know where to begin. Don't forget to check the older archives too - there are some gems in there as well!

Belle & Snow White, with a Twist, 2008-01-17*

This kid can really take a story and twist it around! Listen to her tell this story HERE.

Belle saw that the gate was open and went in. Snow White and Belle thought it was the most ideal place to go, so the two princesses went in and saw that the gate was open, with the door shut. So the two princesses went in, but the door was shut and they tried to unlock it, but it make no use and they went back.

The next day they tried it, and it opened! Inside was a beast, with terrible claws and terrible jaws in its terrible halls. He was eating daily bread.

Hook disturbed him, and the two princesses looked at one another in great honour. “He must be driving with mad,” said Belle to Snow White.

The next day Hoott leaved the garden path. And Snow White said to Belle, “It’s a good idea to sit in. In the garden walls, after dinner, quiet in Snow White.”

“That must be a wonderful idea!” said Belle, crying out.

They went in the bedroom and got dressed, and went out for a walk down the straight path. But the castle was with no sand. And they see no reason why it was gone like that. And they had no reason why it was took by the beast. The beast asked Belle if she was happy. In the castle, Hook saw that the beast was there before the fans.

“Fancy you having Gaston here, with all your pleasure,” said Snow White to Belle.

Hoott was saw that the gate was open, and went in by a guard wait. Hook found and fired the hired goblins, of the good goblins and all Hook’s pleasure.

The next day, Hook went out for a walk. And he suddenly saw the princesses walking by a street road that led to a narrow path, that led open a hook that was here.

The next day, Hoott meeted at four thirty at the princesses house, knocked on the door. Snow White went and opened it and saw Hook standing there, and she said that Belle was having a bath. So, “Just wait here,” she said. “I’ll get Belle.”

“DAH!!!!!” cried Hook in astonishment, when he was put in the laundry’s by, “DAH!!!!” of that day on. Of that day on!

The next day, Hoott saw that the gate was open and saw that Belle and Snow White was standing at the door, so he cried out gleefully. “BELLE!! ARE YOU HURT????”

After that, he cried louder.... “BELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” cried Hook in astonishment, and he was took to the missings(?). Of that day on Hook...

(To me, chuckling: Larry and Belle are married now. Larry and Belle are married!
Me: Is Larry a prince?
B: Ya, and Belle is a princess.)

After that, Larry and Belle were married. After that, Hoonk went to Yush to tell that Larry and Belle were missing from their apartment. After that, Hook was saying that Mrs Standin was with Kink. After that, ants came to Hook’s house. The ants were called for help, but the other ants still didn’t know what to do.

Hook brushed his teeth and went upstairs, and soon fell fast asleep. After that Hook looked, went by a small statue that they lift up the slope, slippery slope. Went looking for a small dawn fire, if it’s okay. Hook went and said, “DAH!!!!” at the window, and getting no excuse. “DAH!!!!! DAH!!!!!!!!!!”

After that he went to the crazy lobster that was sleeping in the next room. After that Hoott saw that the gate was open and went in. After that the two princesses looked at each other and smiled. “Happily ever after,” said the two princesses dancing with joy. The two princesses (whispers) married each other!

(To me: The two princesses married to each other!!
Me: I thought you said Belle got married to Larry?
B: No, but Larry died already and the two princesses got married instead!)
